I'm gonna sell the musclecars ('93 GT, '94 Z28). I think I'm gonna get another Ranger. I need to focus on school for the next 2 years. Oh well. Money will come easier after I have the diploma.

Wow... this is probably what I should do. I'll hopefully be done with school by December of 2005, but the money is getting real tight now! I was working with a contractor but his son graduated and is still looking for a job, so that means I'm out and looking again. But my toy is worth much less than the daily driver (2000 Malibu that I'm still paying off) and selling it will only help with the insurance money which isn't bad since I'm over 25. I've thought of making the Formula more reliable and selling the Malibu, but then I would have to pay for fixing up the Formula and with what I owe on the Malibu I would just about break even.

But then I get to the point you just brought up... thinking about the car when I should be studying since I'll be exposed to it more. At least now I can tuck the car away and not think about it as much. I'll just break it out for the occasional autocross then put it away again.

But I will say that you have your priorities straight... school, car or school projects (thanks SAE), and then everything else. My problem is that I was working full time for a while then went back to school, that's even worse since I was used to putting the car first!
